Meet The Degenerate Who Stole Those Game Boys From A Dead Teen's Casket
What kind of a person goes to a wake for a teenager killed in a car accident and steals two Game Boys from inside the dead boy’s casket?



Meet Jody Lynn Bennett, the 37-year-old Pennsylvania skell accused of desecrating the casket of Bradley McCombs. The 17-year-old died on Christmas after crashing his car into a utility pole while driving on a snowy road.

According to police, Bennett (whose family is close friends with McCombs’s parents) attended a wake Monday evening for the teenager. While at the funeral home, Bennett allegedly reached into the boy’s casket and removed two Game Boy consoles and several game cartridges--items that were intended to be buried with the teenager.

Bennett, pictured above, was arrested yesterday and booked into the Indiana County jail on a variety of charges, including theft, abuse of a corpse, and disorderly conduct. He is being held in lieu of $15,000 bond.

A relative of Bennett’s told the Associated Press that the suspect “has been into drugs, he’s into alcohol.” Still, even for a dope fiend, robbing a casket holding the corpse of a teenager is beyond reprehensible.

10. I wasn't kidding.
I don't think it's even an issue of being PC. Being a guy with very much a girls name is going to cause the guy some grief.

4. Had to look up the term 'skell' and while this degenerate is a
degenerate, I do not think I'd be one to use the word 'skell' either.

5. step-mother's niece stole the engagement ring from her casket
the one my father had given my step-mother.
What makes someone do something like that. Game boys can't have much value. I doubt that ring did either.
About as low as one can get.

12. probably or meth head.
he doesn't appear to have the "pick marks" of a guy on meth, but then again it could be early in his use.

either way, they guy is on a road to the bottom.

11. "robbing a casket holding the corpse of a teenager is beyond reprehensible"
good for these people that they haven't been around many major drug addicts.

What this guy did was fairly mild as to what some meth heads will do to get money for a fix.

14. Not all Game Boy players are like him.
Just sayin'.

Maybe he looked at the corpse and thought, "This guy ain't gonna be playin' much." Drugs will do that.
